nina and erica look at each other and nod. "go on,love. she needs you." nina tells her husband, while giving him a long hug.

Erica bites her bottom lip and nods.she gingerly squeezes castors shoulder as she passes. Nina stands to hug her husband,and wipe his face. " at least we know she is safe now,love. That's the most important thing. She's safe and th babies are safe."

Erica slowly opens the door,slightly scared by seeing castor's face. She lights up when she sees her friend. " Nichole! I thought we had lost you." Erica weeps slightly and squeezes Nichole's toe,as hopefully that part of her is ok to squeeze.

Erica grins as she looks at tiny lump that is Nichole's babies. " that's the most beautiful baby bump I've ever seen....can...can I touch it?" She asks stating intently at the belly.

Erica squeals as she eagerly touches Nichole's belly. She then puts her ear to the belly as if she is going to hear something. " I think they know they have the best mommy ever." She whispers.
" how...long do you have to stay here?" Erica asks quietly,unsure if nichole wants to speak of the ordeal.

Erica picks up the tv remote/speaker thing and plays with it nervously. "Do you think you're ok? " she asks,then changes the subject. " never think you are alone,we have castor and Nina's apartment packed. Sam,erich and Ada,myself and Natalya...along with castor,nina and Virginia. You are one loved Chica." Erich laughs weakly.

Erica thinks for a moment. " I don't think castor and nina ever gave up hope.after 5 days I thought for sure you were a goner..castor did way something to the effect if anyone could do it,it'd be you." Erica smiles at her friend. " you are a tough broad,huh?"

" that makes me glad we never came to physical blows." Erica says laughing softly. "You should have emptied the magazine into him. Especially if what the article says is true." Her eyes water just thinking of it. She lightly grabs Nichole's hand.

Erica hesitates before hugging her friend,unsure of how injured she is. " you had no choice,Nichole. You had to protect yourself and the babies.....Sam was very shook up..you want Sam again?" Erica says,very glad to have Nichole safe

Erica smiles and shakes her head a little. " I think between Sam and I,we were driving poor castor nuts. Nats has been great. She even took she and I being named as possible suspects well." Erica laughs.

"Bitterness about world war 2 " Erica giggles. " I guess because of the...um,history,the three of us have.even nina asked me." Erica laughs at the idea of them being criminal masterminds.
